So, with the taper running behind last week, we had to cancel our 'painting party'. We weren't able to actually start painting until Tuesday. This is good and bad. We've been so burned out that Loralee and I just took Sunday and did... nothing! It was great, a quiet day at home with no responsibilities, no where to go, and no projects to work on.
This week, however, we are making up for lost time. Lor started doing the interior wall priming on Tuesday, and got nearly all the 1st floor done, with the exception of cutting in. I've worked on that the last two nights, and as of yesterday evening the 1st floor was fully primed. The second floor, with all the vaulted space, will be a lot harder to do. We need to have the house primed and two coats on by next Wednesday. It's going to be a very rough weekend.
The cost of our driveway just went up, as the town made us put a culvert across the road. This is the kind of unforseen stuff that just drives me nuts. Oh well, the money is spent and the work is done. Brent is working on the Septic, now. Actually, there was a very near accident last night, as he was setting the tank with Hopkins & Sons. The truck has a crane, and the bottom half of the tank went in with no problems. However, as the top half was being lifted off, the load shifted and the truck tipped, almost rolling! Luckily, nobody was hurt, but the top tank did get chipped. Not bad, Hopkins will just give us a slight discount and we'll be all set with it.
So, onward. We'll be painting all weekend, and I am taking next Tuesday off from work to wrap up. Once that is done, the OSB boys will have the siding complete so they can start on the interior trim work. Our mason should be working through this weekend to get the brick-work wrapped up as well. He has another good week and a half to go.
